The Present Tense Lyrics Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke performing the new song “The Present Tense” during his solo set on Latitude Festivel, 19 July 2009

This dance, this dance
Is like a weapon, like a weapon
Of self defense, of self defense
Against the present, against the present
"Present Tense"

I won't get heavy, don't get heavy
Keep it light and, keep it moving
I am doing, no harm anekatips.com

As my world comes crashing down
I am dancing, freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind

In you I'm lost, in you I'm lost

I won't turn round while the penny drops
I won't stop now, I won't slack off
Or all this love will be in vain, ooooh
Stop from falling down a mine
It's no ones business but mine
Or all this love will be in vain
Ooohhhh

In you I'm lost, in you I'm lost
(repeat)
